Before choosing law as a career, Me Michel Taillefer was already very much attracted to the business world. This is why he first completed a bachelor’s degree in business administration at École des Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC) before carrying on at McGill’s law faculty.
Admitted to the Bar in 1981, Michel was destined for commercial litigation. Over time, while working for some of Montreal’s greater law firms (Hart, St-Pierre / Heenan Blaikie / BCF), Michel earned himself an excellent reputation while specializing in extraordinary legal recourses such as injunctions, seizures before judgment and special court orders such as «Anton Pillers». In so doing, Michel represented before the courts several major business clients and corporations who wished to benefit from his vast experience.
In 2015, in order to offer business people a pragmatic and useful alternative to our costly and lengthy court system, Michel obtained his accreditation as mediator in civil and commercial matters.
